Saying Good-by to a Well-Loved Boss
by Miki SaxonDo you like your boss?
Or do you love your boss?
Obviously, the global staff at online luxury fashion retailer Net-APorter loves theirs.
The company was founded in 2000 and MARK Sebba joined in 2003—not the best of times for the dot com world.
During Sebba’s 11 years as CEO Net-APorter grew to €550m sales last year, 2,500 people and a valuation around €2.5bn
When he stepped down from that role the end of July his people found an amazing way to show their feelings.
The comments at YouTube are pretty cynical; saying that he must have known about the tribute, etc., but that’s not really the point.
Watch the faces of the staff and you’ll see emotion that can’t be faked.
Whether he knew or not, his staff’s feelings are very real.
